Minocycline Subgingival and Orphacol

• Generic Name: minocycline topical
• Dosage Forms: n.a.
• Other Brand Names: Arestin

Minocycline is used to help treat periodontal disease (a disease of your gums). Periodontal disease is caused by bacteria growing beneath the gum line. Minocycline works by keeping the number of bacteria from growing. Lowering the amount of bacteria helps to reduce inflammation and swelling in your mouth, and the amount of bleeding around the teeth. Minocycline is placed in deep gum pockets next to your teeth in order to reduce the depth of the pockets.

Minocycline will be applied by your dentist or other oral health care professional.
